<p>DS is going to Wash U this fall as a freshman, and we don't know anyone in St. Louis. Have relatives a few hours away for big emergencies, but noone right nearby. We're looking to make contact with a family out there who could be available to provide infrequent (if at all) support for our son. I work near Simmons and could reciprocate by doing the same for your daughter. </p>
<p>Son is absolutely expected to fend for himself for all day to day stuff, we'd just love to know there was someone to call to check on him/bring him something if he were really sick, in some other kind of jam.</p>
<p>Willing to provide references (am nurse at Children's Hospital, Boston) and negotiate "contract" about what is reasonable for us/son to ask for help with.</p>
<p>PM if interested, thanks.</p>
